VEHICLE-SPRING.

Application filed June 15, 1914. Serial No. 845,271.

all whom it may concern:

he it known that l, Owns- M. Nacnrn, a citizen. of the limited States ofAmerica, residing Detroit, in the county of \Vayne te Michigan, haveinvented cerv and useful lii'ipi'oveinents in i e.- of which thefollowing is a iatl therein to rain n hiclceli r n 's, specification,reference being the accompanying" drawings.

The invention relates to more particularly designed vehicle springs usein supporting the rear portion of a motor vehicle ad'acent and securedto each other.

C and D are bracket members pivotallv attached respectively to thesprings and B at one end thereof, and forming rigid connectionsrespectively to the frame lfi and to the axle F. [at the opposite ends.of the springs are similar brackets G and H; but these instead of beingdirectly pivoted to the springs are connected therewith through themedimn of shackles I.

With. the construction as described, when the spi is under load, thesections A and B will be deflected and the elongation produced by theflattening of the ellipses will. be taken care of by the swinging of theshackles I. On the other hand, the frame E and aXle F are held fromrelative lateral displacement, as the pivotal connections between thesame and the sprint? sections A Specification of Letters Patent.

and B are substantially in the same vertical plane, and consequentlyvertical movement will not affect their lateral relation. Thus lateraloscillation of the fame is prevented without v interference with thevertical flexibility.

What I claim as my invention v l. The combination with supporting andsupported members, of a spring interposed therehetween, comprisingreverselv-bowed sections centrally connected toeach other, pivotalconnections lc atween said sections and the respective members at oneend of the spring maintained in the same fixed vertical plane, andlaterally movable onnections lietween the opposite ends of said sectionsand the respective members permitting elongation of the spring when undeload.

#2. The combination with supporting and supported members, of a springthereoe tween comprising reversely-bowed sections centrally connected toeach other and having their ends substantially in vertical alinement,pivotal connections between said sections at one end of said spring andthe respective members permitting relative vertical movement in the sameplane, but preventing relative iteral displacement, and shackleconnections between the oppos'te ends of said sections permitting theelongation of the spring under load.

in testimony whereoi I afifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
